homeandawayer Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This should be a stiffer test with them stuffing Haven and Hunslet. We haven't shipped many points in any of our games so far so it'll be interesting to see how we get on against a free scoring team. There's a wet week predicted so that slog on Sunday could stand us in good stead, looking forward to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginock1 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Pitch is artificial at Newcastle so I think that will also suit the likes of Callum ,Dowsett, Ritson . Could be entertaining and a good test to see where we are defensively when tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town4me Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 We have to reduce the penalty count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think newcastle could be the surprise team this season but a team if we want to be top 4 or higher need to beat. Away on the artificial pitch should suit them, but id certainly expect it to be a different story in a couple of weeks up here the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 agree and the Challenge cup , although always nice to advance , can be an extra distraction and burden on small developing squads , like Wonky I'd rather a win on grass at home in the league, although it will be a good test for the lads and hope they do well .

ivans82 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Don t expect us to win this week end they have recruited well . Still think we will be competetive and expect a close score either way .i actually would prefer to win the cup game than the league game , the challenge cup is the only realistic chance we have of making money , a good cup draw against a top side means cash into the Club coffers .

Anonymouse Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I disagree , home wins and advancing in up the league will be crucial in getting more income through the gates and the league cup final at Blackpool is very realistic and should probably take priority .

The Voodooguru Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Call me old fashioned but it's the start of the season with a fit squad. I'd want two wins at Newcastle both in the league and cup, the lads have already exceeded my expectations with how they are playing so just go for it. When we are in the top two of the league and the quarter finals of the challenge cup we will maybe have to prioritise then. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Squad: Ritson, Hambley, Chamberlain, Forber, Doran, Coward, C. Phillips, Scholey, B. Phillips, Szostak, Howarth, Dowsett, Curwen, Rooke, Davies, Shelford, Joseph, Fitzsimmons, Singleton. An exciting unit that will enjoy playing on their fast pitch!

DavidM Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Think the Aldous brothers came through the hull system . Danny Nicklas did but I think he didn't make the most of his talent there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town Army Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 On paper this looks like a tough one, I reckon this will give us the best indication yet of where we are and what we can expect going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
